French Hand-Forged Iron + Striped Velvet Lounge Chair, 1950s

$4,400.00

A French hand-forged iron lounge chair from the 1950s, where decorative ironwork meets the comfort of generous upholstery.

The frame is shaped entirely by hand, its twisted iron uprights and stretchers revealing the subtle irregularities that distinguish forged metal. Brass finials punctuate the silhouette, introducing moments of warmth that contrast with the dark patinated iron.

Upholstered in a striped velvet, the generously padded seat, back, and armrests soften the chair's architectural frame. The rich interplay of deep red and green lends a sense of character without overwhelming the geometry of the ironwork.

Its proportions invite lingering rather than formality. The exposed iron framework allows light to move through the piece, giving it a visual lightness despite its solid construction.

DIMENSIONS: 28.25"W x 39"D x 36.5"H

SEAT HEIGHT: 16.5"

ORIGIN: France

PERIOD: 1950s

MATERIALS: Iron, Velvet

CONDITION: In very good vintage condition, with a soft, natural patina to the iron frame, consistent with age and use.
